Grc News & Analysis

Cloud computing is rapidly changing the way enterprises go about their business. Over the past 18 months we have noted a trend amongst enterprises to take their e-Discovery in-house. According to email and archiving security vendor Proofpoint, the economy available through the cloud is going to speed up the process and by the end of this year in-house e-Discovery could well be the norm.

This week in GRC news, Trend Micro offers Android data protection, Proofpoint research indicates that e-Discovery is moving to the cloud -- with a new release from Applied Discovery offering hosted e-Discovery that backs that research up -- and Laserfiche releases v8.2 focusing on GRC.

Laserfiche (news, site) kicked off its annual Empower Conference this week with several announcements, including the release of Laserfiche 8.2. The newest iteration of the company's document management tool pays special attention to governance, risk and compliance.

When we look back at GRC, there are some stories that stand out more than others. In 2010, the enterprise embraced social media and with that came questions and challenges about how to effectively manage it. In addition, the rise of cloud computing posed storage problems for companies’ unstructured data. Let’s take a look at the year’s top stories.

It’s the last GRC Roll-up of the year and it's full of news. Agiliance has just announced the interoperability between its GRC platform and Oracle’s Database 11g, Google tracks websites that have been hacked, we look at e-Discovery predictions for 2011 and a release from BWise. Finally, Intel and McAfee get thumbs up from the US but there could be problems with the EU.

Since we published our e-Discovery predictions for 2011, one more industry vendor has added their predictions to the mix. With only a few days left until 2011, there isn’t much longer until the future is now. Yet, from early case assessment to GRC, it’s apparent that the future of e-Discovery holds many opportunities.

Our contributing experts continued to hammer our their predictions for 2011 this week, covering our most favorite acronyms -- ECM and WCM -- as well as intranet trends and our future ability to predict the future (spoiler: outlook not good).

This week in the GRC space, we look at e-Discovery in BPOS (and Office365), LiveOffice archives Salesforce Chatter, OpenLogic offers open source governance for agile developers and new research reveals how safe our smartphones really are.

Well kids, another year is almost behind us. To celebrate, our gracious contributing experts have been focusing on the highlights of 2010, as well as what they predict awaits in 2011. Read on if you're feeling sentimental and/or ready to start preparing your business for the future.

In the GRC space this week, IBM secures development of applications in the enterprise from the start of the build process, Google adds a number of security patches and PDF viewer to Chrome 8, Forrester predicts growth in the GRC market over the coming 12 months and Kalido and SutiSoft both announce new releases.

The Asia Pacific region is keen on cloud computing, as we earlier reported. This is one of the premises by which the Asia Cloud Computing Association (news, site) was built on. The consortium stands to face difficulties in certain markets, though, and will need to muscle up in order to attain its goal of promoting the adoption of cloud computing initiatives in the region.

It has been an interesting week in GRC. The Linux Box as released the community edition of its email archiving as a prequel to the enterprise edition release early next year, Invincea says there may be problems with the new Adobe Reader X , while data back-up is creating cloud migration issues.

Data security is high on the list of GRC priorities this week. An app launched in October shows that up to 20% of info on Facebook news feeds is malicious while EMC-backed research shows information governance policies in cloud migrations are lacking. In other news, new releases from CipherPoint secure SharePoint content.

There have been a number of interesting announcements in the GRC space this week. First, we had the release of a new governance product from SOA to manage IBM’s WebSphere, followed by a physical records management release for SharePoint 2010 and Mimecast support for BPOS. In the meantime, Autonomy was making its move into the healthcare market.
